Color management compatibility

If we are going to talk about color management at all, we have to talk about…monitor or display calibration.…And it's not within the scope of this title to get into the nitty-gritty of…that, but I'm going to talk about color management assuming that you do have…a calibrated monitor.…If you don't, I highly advise you to educate yourself about color management and…potentially invest in a calibration device for your specific display.…

Without that, you really don't know what colors you're dealing with.…So if you're working in Painter and particularly if you are going to go back and…forth between Photoshop, if you are really going to be outputting artwork to a…device, you really want probably do that in Photoshop.…Painter does have color management settings and they are helpful, but it's…always best you use the tool for the best purpose.…And as I discussed in the last video, Photoshop really is the correct tool to do that kind work.…

Q: When I double-click the John's Smart Brushes.brushcategory file as shown in the Chapter 8 movie "Understanding the Underpainting palette," the brushes do not install. Instead I get the message "There is no application set to open this document."

A: This is because your operating system does not recognize the .brushcategory file type. This can be circumvented by selecting the file, right-clicking, and choosing "Open With…".

If Painter 12 is not in the list, use "Other…" to locate and select Painter 12.

The file will be read by Painter and the brush category will be installed.
